Each summer, the Order of the Arrow offers a collection of high adventure treks for youth and young adults who are up to the challenge. Maybe it’s whetting your appetite by going for a plunge in the ocean at OA Ocean Adventure at the Florida Sea Base, or maybe hiking is your passion at Philmont, Northern Tier or the Summit. Whatever it is, there is no better place to go than OA High Adventure.
You can exercise your leadership skills by designing and leading a trek with other OA members from around the country—youth are encouraged to come alone or with a buddy. Along with the trek completely designed by you, each participant will have the opportunity to serve the back country through building trail, expanding and reinforcing portage trails, and restoring coral reefs. All of this, while building bonds with OA members from around the country and cementing an experience that will live with you forever.
These programs ensure that OA members have unique access to Scouting’s high adventure bases and help to ensure that the future of Scouting has a place to live, work, and interact. This summer, try something new or do something you thoroughly enjoy! Your destiny awaits you…
Section E6 is offering 8 scholarships for youth Arrowmen to attend the OA High Adventure this summer!
